Piano Zimmer Frame

Familiar objects that utilise long-term memory are an excellent tool in encouraging dementia patients to participate during music therapy sessions. Like the Rhythm Sticks, the Piano Zimmer Frame offers an opportunity to liberate a stigmatised product by turning it into an assistive musical instrument.

How does it work?

The Zimmer frame becomes a playable MIDI controller, this uses a piezo sensor and computer software that converts acoustic impulses into MIDI messages.
